Crusoe is hiring field technicians to commission mechanical infrastructure at data center sites, signaling that a vertically integrated AI compute company is taking on the physical build-and-acceptance work itself, not just the software layer.
Crusoe is on a mission to accelerate the abundance of energy and intelligence. As the only vertically integrated AI infrastructure company built from the ground up, we own and operate each layer of the stack — from electrons to tokens — to power the world's most ambitious AI workloads. When you join Crusoe, you join a team that is building the future, faster.
We're in the midst of the greatest industrial revolution of our time. The demand for AI compute is boundless, and power is a bottleneck. We're solving that — with an energy-first approach that makes AI infrastructure better for the world and faster for the people innovating with AI.
We're looking for problem-solving, opportunity-finding teammates with a sense of urgency, who believe in the scale of our ambition and thrive on a path not fully paved — people who want to grow their careers alongside a team of experts across energy, manufacturing, data center construction, and cloud services.
If you want to do the most meaningful work of your career, help our customers and partners advance their AI strategies, and be part of a high-performing team that believes in each other, come build with us at Crusoe.
About This Role:
The Field Service Technician – Mechanical Integration & Field Site Acceptance plays a vital role in the field deployment, mechanical integration, site acceptance testing (SAT), and field support for Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) data center infrastructure. Operating directly within client and enterprise data center sites, the technician ensures high-reliability installation and mechanical validation of Modular Data Centers (MDCs), power distribution skids, high-density GPU/server racks, thermal containment systems, and cooling manifolds.
This role focuses on field installation, precision physical alignment, site acceptance protocols, and non-licensed low-voltage support (24VDC/signal control circuits). This position operates strictly within a non-certified electrical scope; all high-voltage electrical connections and certified electrician tasks are strictly excluded.
What You’ll Be Working On:
Perform on-site mechanical positioning, structural anchor mounting, and precision alignment for modular data centers (MDCs), GPU/server rack assemblies, power skids, and containment structures.
Rig, position, level, and secure heavy OEM sub-assemblies and fluid distribution manifolds using precision leveling gear, torque tools, and field rigging equipment.
Execute field installation of cooling lines, quick-disconnect (QD) fittings, and fluid interconnects following engineering drawings and exact torque specifications.
Conduct field structural integrity checks, vibration isolation verifications, and environmental sealing on modular enclosures.
Execute Site Acceptance Testing (SAT) protocols for newly landed OEM equipment to verify mechanical integrity and installation readiness prior to final customer handover.
Perform mechanical and visual quality inspection checklists during uncrating, landing, and positioning at client facilities.
Document SAT outcomes, maintain field test logs, and compile detailed punch-lists for any mechanical or cosmetic anomalies observed on site.
Partner with client data center facility teams, general contractors, and commissioning engineers to resolve field integration issues efficiently.
Support low-voltage control circuits (24VDC, sensor loops, and signal lines) on OEM equipment as non-licensed field support.
Perform basic multi-meter continuity checks and voltage measurements on non-energized control loops and terminal blocks.
Execute precise wire stripping, terminal block termination, crimping, wire lacing, and cable management inside OEM control cabinets.
Observe strict electrical boundary limits: high-voltage AC connections, main electrical panel wiring, and licensed electrician duties are explicitly out of scope.
Serve as the primary technical field representative for OEM equipment landing, mechanical troubleshooting, and field modification kits.
Complete daily site logs, field service reports, redline drawing revisions, and material tracking forms accurately.
Adhere strictly to environment, health, and safety (EHS) guidelines, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) rules, and site-specific Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures.
What You’ll Bring to the Team:
High school diploma or equivalent; trade school diploma or technical certification in mechanical technology, field service, or industrial maintenance is highly desirable.
2–5+ years of practical field service, mechanical installation, or field integration experience within data centers, critical facilities, industrial power, or HVAC environments.
Hands-on proficiency with mechanical hand/power tools, torque wrenches, precision measurement devices, and leveling equipment.
Ability to read and interpret mechanical assembly drawings, structural layouts, and field installation procedures.
Physical capacity to lift up to 50 lbs unassisted, work in confined spaces inside modular units, and perform work at elevated heights safely.
Mobility and willingness to travel to client data center project locations as required.
Bonus Points:
OEM Data Center Equipment: Direct field experience with modular data centers (MDCs), power skids, server/GPU rack containment, and fluid distribution manifolds.
Basic Electrical Wiring & Schematics: Familiarity with low-voltage wiring fundamentals, reading control schematics, wire stripping, terminal block wiring, and cable lacing techniques.
Low-Voltage Diagnostics: Hands-on experience operating digital multimeters for non-energized continuity verification and low-voltage (24VDC/signal) troubleshooting.
Hydraulic & Cooling Systems: Working knowledge of liquid cooling loops, pressure testing procedures, and quick-disconnect manifold connections.
Safety Credentials: Active OSHA 10 / OSHA 30 card, NFPA 70E awareness, and signalperson/rigging safety training.
Benefits:
Competitive compensation and equity packages
Restricted Stock Units
Paid time off, paid holidays & leave of absence programs
Comprehensive health, dental & vision insurance
Employer contributions to HSA account
Paid parental leave
Paid life insurance, short-term and long-term disability
Professional development & tuition reimbursement
